BreezeMAX CPEs
1.1
BreezeMAX CPEs
The WiMAX-compatible BreezeMAX PRO 1000 CPE and BreezeMAX Si 1000 CPE Subscriber Units (SUs) (henceforth BreezeMAX PRO and BreezeMAX Si) are powered by Intel's WiMAX Connection 2250 chip. BreezeMAX CPEs serve as an efficient platform for a wide range of services, providing bridge functionality and supporting up to 512 MAC addresses. BreezeMAX CPEs are currently available in the 2.3 GHz (WCS), 2.5 GHz (MMDS and MCS) and 3.5 GHz frequency bands. BreezeMAX CPEs support dual operation modes, enabling detection of the protocol used in the wireless link (APD) and automatic switching between e-ready (BreezeMAX TDD SW version 4.5) and IEEE 802.16e compatible (4Motion version 2.5) operation modes, provided they hold the appropriate SW versions.
TDD Frequencies
2300 - 2360 MHz 2496 - 2690 MHz 3399.5 - 3600 MHz
The units support the TR-069 CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP), allowing efficient management by an Auto Configuration Server (ACS). In addition, configuration and performance monitoring of a single unit can be performed either locally (via the Ethernet port) or remotely using any of the following options: Using Telnet to access the built-in Monitor program. Using a PC/Notebook or a PDA with an http browser to access the built-in web configuration server. Using TFTP to upload/download a Configuration File.
Product Manual
BreezeMAX CPEs
For the Self-Install Si CPE, several tools that support easy installation by non-professional users are available to support various business models. These include: A user-friendly WiMAX Modem Application designed for the non-professional end user provides easy to follow installation instructions. The application includes pre-configuration of most of the relevant parameters, which are automatically loaded into the unit. It guides the user to enter the required credentials (User Name and Password) and optionally select the proper location. The application also includes simple but efficient performance monitoring tools to support easy identification of possible problems. An optional Smart Card, that may be supplied either together with the unit or separately, can include all relevant configuration details, including location and end user specific parameters. The unit may also be pre-configured prior to shipment to the end user, including all location and end user specific parameters.

2.1.2
CAUTION
ONLY experienced installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities should install outdoor units and antennas. Failure to do so may void the BreezeMAX product warranty and may expose the end user or Service Provider to legal and financial liabilities. Alvarion and its resellers or distributors are not liable for injury, damage or regulation violations associated with the installation of Outdoor Units or antennas.
Select the optimal locations for the equipment using the following guidelines: The ODU should be mounted on a 1"-4" pole. Its location should enable easy access to the unit and its connectors for installation and testing. The higher the placement of the antenna, the better the achievable link quality. The antenna should be installed to provide a direct, or near line of sight with the BTS antenna(s). The antenna should be aligned to face the general direction of the BTS. In some cases it might be necessary to up/down-tilt the antenna. An optional Tilt accessory for the ODU providing a tilt range of +/-15 is available from Alvarion. The tilt option might be necessary to either improve the link conditions or, if the SU is too close to the BTS, to reduce the receive signals strength. As a rule of thumb, if the SU is located at a distance of less than 300 meters from the BTS, it is recommended to up-tilt the antenna by approximately 10 to 15 (especially in line-of-sight conditions) to avoid saturation of the receivers by too strong signals. Outdoor units with a connection to an external antenna should be installed as close as possible to the antenna.

Product Manual
Chapter 3 - Commissioning
NOTE
When the Y-Cable is connected, there is no Ethernet connectivity between the ODU and the data device connected to the IDU.
From the Pocket PC/Notebook, connect to the SU and complete the process of configuring basic parameters. Verify that the the unit is synchronized with a BS. If the SU is not synchronized with a BS, ensure that all parameters are configured properly. If the unit is still not synchronized with a BS, improve the quality of the link by changing the direction of the antenna or by placing the antenna at a higher or in an alternate location.
Rotate (and/or tilt if applicable) the ODU/antenna until the maximum link quality (SNR and RSSI) reading is achieved. If you encounter prolonged difficulty in achieving the expected link quality, try to improve the reception quality by placing the antenna at a higher point or in an alternate location.
NOTE
Ensure that the front of the antenna is always facing the BTS. However, in certain conditions, such as when the line of sight to the BTS is hampered, better reception may be achieved using a reflected signal. In this case, the antenna is not necessarily directed toward the BTS.
CAUTION
In some cases, the antenna may need to be tilted to ensure that the level at which the SU receives transmissions from the BTS (and vice versa) is not too high. When the RSSI reading is higher than -20 dBm, the received signal level is too high (saturation). This must be avoided, preferably by up-tilting the antenna. As a rule of thumb, if the SU is located at a distance of less than 300 meters from the BTS, it is recommended to up-tilt the antenna by approximately 10 to 15.

Introduction to SU Management
4.1
Introduction to SU Management
The units support the TR-069 CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP), allowing efficient management by an Auto Configuration Server (ACS). In addition, configuration and performance monitoring of a single unit can be performed either locally (via the Ethernet port) or remotely using any of the following options: Using Telnet to access the built-in Monitor program. Using a PC/Notebook or a PDA with an http browser to access the built-in web configuration server. Using TFTP to upload/download a Configuration File. For local management, the management IP address is 192.168.254.251 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Remote (over the air) management is done using a WAN management IP address acquired from a DHCP server as a part of the Network Entry process. The DHCP server should supply also the URL of the ACS management station. Remote management service is always in IP CS service mode (even if the unit uses Ethernet CS for regular services). In the uplink, the DSCP value of management packets sent by the unit can be configured only by the remote management system using TR-069 (the default is 6). In downlink management packets the DSCP value is ignored and management traffic is identified by destination IP address. This chapter describes how to use the Monitor program for managing a unit. Management using the built-in web configuration server is described in The Web Configuration Server on page 118.

SW Versions Control
The SU can contain two SW versions: Main: Normally, each time the SU resets it will reboot using the version defined as Main. Shadow: Normally the Shadow version is the backup version. Each time a new SW File is downloaded to the SU, it will be stored as a Shadow version, replacing the previous Shadow Version. The typical process of upgrading to a new SW version includes the following steps: 1 2 Download the new SW file to the SU. It will be stored as the Shadow version. Reset and run the unit from its Shadow version. Note that if the new SW file was loaded from StarACS, the Run from Shadow operation will be performed automatically. 3 If the unit succeeded to complete network entry, the Shadow and Main versions will be swapped automatically: The currently running version will be defined as Main, and will be used each time the unit reboots. The previous version is defined now as Shadow. The SU functions as a TFTP client, enabling the loading of SW files from a TFTP server.

This option enables selection of either an internal antenna, an external (detached) antenna or automatic antenna selection. The available options are 0 (External), 1 to 6 (Internal), or 7 (Automatic). The default is Automatic. In Automatic antenna selection mode, all antennas are scanned during the scanning process to find the best antenna. In addition, all antennas are scanned continuously during normal operation (using the selected BS and Rx Frequency), and the selected antenna is always the best one. This fast scanning process guarantees uniterrupted connectivity and optimal performance upon possible occurrence of unintentional changes (such as a change in the placement of the unit or insertion of an obstacle in the communication path).

Rx Attenuator
The Rx Attenuator option is applicable only for units operating in the 2.3 GHz band. This option defines the attenuation that can be inserted in the receive path to improve performance under certain strong interference conditions. This optional attenuation is aimed primarily to reduce the impact of SDARS (Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service) in the 2320-2345 MHz frequencies band. It is recommended to set this parameter to 10 db if an interfering signal in the SDARS band is received at the SU's site at a level exceeding -40 dBm. The available options are 0 or 10 dBm. The default is 0 dBm (no attenuation).
NOTE
RSSI readings do not take into account the Rx attenuation. This means that when the Rx Attenuator is set to 10 dB, the actual RSSI is higher by 10 dBm from the RSSI value in the Link Quality Display (see next section).

Service Parameters
4.12
Service Parameters
The Service Parameters menu enables viewing and updating the service related parameter. It enables selecting the Service Operation Mode that defines the convergence sublayer (IP CS or Ethernet CS) used in the wireless access network and defining the Service Rules to be used for handling the relevant classifiers (VLAN/DSCP) of packets processed by the units. In Ethernet CS, all packets on the wireless side should have a VLAN tag. Ethernet CS service rules enable defining VLAN ID (1Q) and VLAN Priority (1P) marking per DSCP range per Service line in the uplink direction and removal of the VLANs towards the LAN in downlink direction. In the uplink direction, untagged Ethernet frames shall be checked against pre-configured rules (DSCP value of IP header or for none IP frames), and if a match is found - the CPE shall add the pre-configured VLAN ID and VLAN Priority marking to these frames. If outgoing untagged ARP is identified (Ethertype 806) it shall be multiplied for all uplink services flows for all defined combinations of VLAN ID and Priority. Tagged packets are passed transparently to the uplink. In the downlink direction, the VLAN-tagged frames delivered from the air-link shall be forwarded to the LAN in untagged form (after stripping the VLAN tag). In IP CS, DSCP-based classification is used in the wireless access network. The Default Transparent Service Rule defines that all untagged packets arriving from the Ethernet port will be transferred transparently to the wireless port. Any packet arriving from the wireless port that does not match any other rule will be transferred transparently to the Ethernet port without a VLAN tag. Additional Service Rules can be defined, allowing to specify special handling for certain packets. Note that the VLAN ID configurations of different service rules should not overlap (A certain VLAN can be included in one rule only). In addition, the DSCP value defined for remote management (default is 6) should not be included in any rule. The following types of IP CS Service Rules can be defined: DSCP Range Rule: A packet with the defined VLAN tag (VLAN ID and Priority) will be forwarded to the wireless port after removal of the VLAN tag. It is assumed that the DSCP value of these packets is in the defined DSCP range (the packet will be forwarded regardless of its DSCP value. However, if the DSCP value is not in the defined range then most probably it will not reach its intended destination). For packets with a DSCP value in the defined range arriving from the wireless port, the defined VLAN tag (VLAN ID and Priority) will be added before forwarding to the Ethernet port. For DSCP Range service rules DSCP Marking cannot be enabled.
108
Product Manual
Chapter 4 - Operation
Service Parameters
Single DSCP Rule: These are packet where the DSCP range includes a single value (DSCP Range Start=DSCP Range End):
If DSCP Marking is disabled, the handling of the packet is the same as described above for a DSCP Range Rule (with a single value in the DSCP Range).
If DSCP Marking is enabled, it means that the DSCP value of a packet arriving from the Ethernet port must be 0 (otherwise it will be discarded). Before forwarding to the wireless port the 0 DSCP value will be replaced by the defined DSCP value and the VLAN tag will be removed. For packets with this DSCP value arriving from the wireless port the defined VLAN tag will be added before forwarding it to the Ethernet port (without changing the DSCP value).
Note also the following rules and limitations: Remote management traffic is always in IP CS. In the uplink, the DSCP value of management packets sent by the unit can be configured only by the remote management system (the default is 6). In downlink management packets the DSCP value is ignored. Non-management uplink traffic with the Management DSCP is discarded. Local management (using IP address 192.168.254.251) shall work always even if its VLAN tag does not match any of the Service Rules. In Ethernet CS, any packet received from the Ethernet port and targeted to another computer behind the SU shall be discarded. In IP CS:
Computers behind the SU can communicated with each other only if a router is used to connect them to the SU. The SU acts as a Proxy ARP for all IP addresses behind it. The SU will respond to these ARP requests with its own MAC address. The Proxy ARP response shall be with the same VLAN tag (or untagged) used in the request (if the VLAN tag does not match any service rule the request will be ignored).
109
Product Manual

Service Parameters
ARP requests in which the destination IP address is multicast/broadcast IP addresses shall be ignored.
Broadcasts/Multicasts received from the wireless port are transferred to the Ethernet port with all VLAN tags defined in Service Rules (including No VLAN).
Any received packet whose Source MAC address = SU MAC address shall be discarded. Packets received from the Ethernet port with Source or Destination IP address equal to the remote management address shall be discarded.

Session Initiation Protocol. An application-layer control IETF protocol that can establish, modify, and terminate multimedia sessions such as Internet telephony calls (VoIP). SIP can also invite participants to already existing sessions, such as multicast conferences. Media can be added to (and removed from) an existing session. SIP transparently supports name mapping and redirection services, which supports personal mobility - users can maintain a single externally visible identifier regardless of their network location.

SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol. A network management protocol that provides a means to monitor and control network devices, and to manage configurations, statistics collection, performance, and security. SNMP works by sending messages, called protocol data units (PDUs), to different parts of a network. SNMP-compliant devices, called agents, store data about themselves in Management Information Bases (MIBs) and return this data to the SNMP requesters.
SNR
Signal to Noise Ratio. The ratio of the amplitude of a desired analog or digital data signal to the amplitude of noise in a transmission channel at a specific point in time. SNR is typically expressed logarithmically in decibels (dB). SNR measures the quality of a transmission channel or a signal over a network channel. The greater the ratio, the easier it is to identify and subsequently isolate and eliminate the effects of noise. SNR also is abbreviated as S/N.
SU TCP
Subscriber Unit Transmission Control Protocol. Connection-oriented transport layer protocol that provides reliable full-duplex data transmission. TCP is the part of the TCP/IP suite of protocols that is responsible for forming data connections between nodes that are reliable, as opposed to IP, which is connectionless and unreliable.
TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. A set of protocols developed by the U.S. Department of Defense to allow communication between dissimilar networks and systems over long distances. TCP/IP is the de facto standard for data transmission over networks, including the Internet.
TDD
Time Division Duplex is a duplexing technique dividing a radio channel in time to allow downlink operation during part of the frame period and uplink operation in the remainder of the frame period. Trivial File Transfer Protocol. Simplified version of FTP that allows files to be transferred from one computer to another over a network, usually without the use of client authentication. TR-069 CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP) was created by the DSL Forum to standardize management of CPEs over the Wide Area Network (WAN) . The TR-069 protocol specifically defines a common method for CPE devices to communicate with an Auto Configuration Server (ACS).
TFTP
TR-069
Tx UDP
Transmit User Datagram Protocol. Connectionless transport layer protocol in the TCP/IP protocol stack. UDP is a simple protocol that exchanges datagrams without acknowledgments or guaranteed delivery, requiring that error processing and retransmission be handled by other protocols. UDP is defined in RFC 768.
UL VLAN
Up Link Virtual Local Area Network. A group of devices on one or more LANs that are configured with the same VLAN ID so that they can communicate as if they were attached to the same wire, when in fact they are located on a number of different LAN segments. Used also to create separation between different user groups.

VoIP
Voice over Internet Protocol. Provides an advanced digital communications network that bypasses the traditional public switched telephone system and uses the Internet to transmit voice communication. VoIP enables people to use the Internet as the transmission medium for telephone calls by sending voice data in packets using IP rather than by traditional circuit switched transmissions of the PSTN.
WAN
Wide Area Network. A computer network that spans a relatively large geographical area. Wide area networks can be made up of interconnected smaller networks spread throughout a building, a state, or the entire globe.
WCS WEEE
Wireless Communications Services. The variety of services available using frequencies in the 2.3 GHz band for general fixed wireless use. Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment. The purpose of Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is, as a first priority, the prevention of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), and in addition, the reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of such wastes so as to reduce the disposal of waste. It also seeks to improve the environmental performance of all operators involved in the life cycle of electrical and electronic equipment, e.g. producers, distributors and consumers and in particular those operators directly involved in the treatment of waste electrical and electronic equipment.
Wireless LAN The name commonly given to the IEEE 802.16 standard. Specifications for fixed broadband wireless metropolitan access networks (MANs) that use a point-to-multipoint architecture. WIMAX supports very high bit rates in both uploading to and downloading from a base station up to a distance of 30 miles.
